Cultivating To Immortality

Facing the threat of a powerful enemy, the blue-robed Elder’s expression flickered between uncertainty and struggle, unsure of how to decide.

Boom!

Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, Fang Hong’s figure suddenly descended nearby, releasing the aura of an Early Stage Nascent Soul, causing the expressions of the Everyone present to change abruptly.

"This aura... could it be a Nascent Soul Cultivator?" The grey-robed Elder’s face was filled with horror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

In contrast, the Black-clothed person reacted a step faster, immediately leaping from the Spirit Ship and respectfully cupping his hands in greeting to Fang Hong.

"May I ask Senior’s name? I am a disciple of the Shadow Demon Island sect."

"I am merely a loose cultivator, just passing through here. I originally intended to go to Four Seas City to buy some things. You just said the Four Seas Sect is in trouble; what’s going on?"

Fang Hong’s expression was calm, and he did not reveal his identity directly, simply asking a question.

Upon hearing that Fang Hong was merely a loose cultivator, everyone from Shadow Demon Island immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a clear look of relaxation appearing on their faces.

They had originally thought Fang Hong was a powerful individual sent by the Four Seas Sect, their hearts in their throats, but now they finally settled back down.

"Senior, I advise you not to go to Four Seas Island for now." The Black-clothed person cupped his fist slightly, his tone respectful.

"A fierce battle is currently erupting there, and the situation is very chaotic. Our Shadow Demon Island has launched a full-scale attack on the Four Seas Sect, and it is estimated that it won’t be long before the Four Seas Sect is swallowed by our Shadow Demon Island."

"It won’t be too late to purchase supplies after the war settles. By then, Four Seas Island will be our Shadow Demon Island’s territory, and Senior won’t have to worry about being caught in the middle."

The Black-clothed person’s persuasion was extremely sincere, and his attitude appeared exceptionally cautious.

"A major battle has erupted? When did your Shadow Demon Island become so powerful, daring to directly challenge the Inner Sea overlord, the Four Seas Sect?" Fang Hong frowned slightly after hearing this, feeling a bit surprised.

It seems that something big has indeed happened to the Four Seas Sect this time.

"Inner Sea overlord? Hehe, Senior must have been in seclusion for too long and is out of touch with the news."

"The Inner Sea is no longer what it once was. Our Shadow Demon Island’s Ancestral Master, Old Ancestor Tang Tian, broke through to Nascent Soul Peak several years ago, and his strength far surpasses Old Ancestor Xiao Ze of the Four Seas Sect."

"The position of this Inner Sea overlord naturally has to change." The Black-clothed person said proudly.

"Old Ancestor Tang Tian, Nascent Soul Peak?" Fang Hong’s heart stirred upon hearing this, and the name once mentioned by the Dragon King involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

So, that Tang Tian was actually the founding Ancestral Master of Shadow Demon Island.

Tang Tian actually broke through to Nascent Soul Peak?

It seems the Four Seas Sect’s crisis this time is not small. As far as he knew, Xiao Yu’s grandfather, Xiao Ze, was only at the Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivation rank, and he probably wasn’t a match for Tang Tian.

"Even if Island Master Tang Tian’s cultivation has advanced to Nascent Soul Peak, the Four Seas Sect has a deep foundation, and Four Seas Island is covered with various high-grade formations. Does your Shadow Demon Island really have such great confidence to completely annihilate the Four Seas Sect?" Fang Hong asked again.

"It seems Senior truly has been in perennial seclusion, not even knowing about the major events that have happened recently." The Black-clothed person smiled and continued.

"To tell Senior the truth, our Shadow Demon Island had already swept across the entire Inner Sea before moving against the Four Seas Sect."

"We have successively swallowed dozens of forces, big and small, including the Myriad Talisman Sect, Blazing Fire Island, and Black Water Gang. Our current overall strength has long surpassed the Four Seas Sect."

"As long as we win this final battle against the Four Seas Sect, our Shadow Demon Island will be able to completely unify the Inner Sea, and from then on, there will be no rivals." The Black-clothed person said passionately.

"Even the Myriad Talisman Sect has been swallowed."

Fang Hong pondered to himself; this Old Ancestor Tang Tian indeed had some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise, how could he have caused such a big stir in such a short time?

"Senior, in my opinion, the unification of the Inner Sea by Shadow Demon Island is now an irresistible trend, which no one can stop."

"If Senior is willing to join our Shadow Demon Island, with your cultivation and demeanor, you will surely be able to directly assume the position of Grand Elder, enjoying a respected status and an endless supply of Cultivation resources."

The Black-clothed person actually invited Fang Hong?

Fang Hong smiled slightly, not responding, but merely waved his hand gently.

In an instant, a red light flashed by, and everyone from Shadow Demon Island only felt a blur before their eyes. Before they could react, they had all fallen to the ground.

They didn’t even let out a single scream before all their Qi was gone, instantly turning into cold corpses.

Fang Hong collected all their corpses into his demon gourd, refining them into spirit pills. Then he unfurled his Swift Wind Wings, transforming into a streak of wind and light, flying rapidly towards Four Seas Island.

At this moment, the disciples of the Four Seas Sect on the island witnessed this scene, and each of them was stunned.

The arrogant and domineering cultivators from Shadow Demon Island were actually slaughtered in an instant?

"El-Elder, who exactly was that Senior just now? He actually helped us eliminate those people from Shadow Demon Island." A Foundation Establishment Stage disciple’s face was full of shock, his voice trembling.

"I don’t know who he is either. But from the looks of it, he should have some connection with our Four Seas Sect."

"If it weren’t for Senior’s timely intervention, we would probably have died here today." The blue-robed Elder looked into the distance with a complex gaze.

"Elder, what do we do now? Is the sect really doomed?"

The disciples of the Four Seas Sect looked at each other, their faces filled with worry.

The blue-robed Elder’s expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

"No matter what, let’s hide first. If the sect’s high-ranking members truly lose to Shadow Demon Island, then our going there would just be suicide."

With that, the blue-robed Elder waved his hand, signaling the disciples to follow, and led them quickly away from their original island, intending to seek refuge on a secluded deserted island, temporarily avoiding this bloody storm and prioritizing their lives.

And at this moment, Fang Hong was rushing at full speed towards Four Seas Island.

Zhao Yongxiu of Shadow Demon Island and Elder Lu Qi of the Myriad Talisman Sect, these two had caused him no small trouble in the Dragon Palace. Now was the perfect opportunity to settle old scores.

...

At this moment, the Four Seas Island’s island-protecting formation had been completely breached, and on the sea outside the island, cultivators from both sides were engaged in fierce combat.

Nascent Soul against Nascent Soul, Core Formation against Core Formation, Foundation Establishment against Foundation Establishment.

Countless spells roared, spiritual artifacts clashed, and firelight shot in all directions.

The Four Seas Sect had a total of seven Nascent Soul Cultivators: Sect Master Xiao Ze, Xiao Li, Hua Hui, Lin Yi, and the younger generation’s Xiao Yu, and two Grand Elders; Elder Gu and Elder Li.
